Stop harassing PM Package Employees or face agitation: APMCC to Govt
LG being misled by top bureaucrats on migrant matters: APMCC
Jammu, January 11, 2021: All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) has strongly condemned the harassing tactics of the J&K administration against PM Package employees with regard to their regular promotions as well as time bound promotions and warned of a bigger agitation than 2016 if things are not sorted out soon.
APMCC leadership said that some top bureaucrats were misleading the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on the matters of Kashmiri Migrants in order to deprive them of their equal rights with other employees.

In this regard a meeting was organized by APMCC with the aggrieved PM Package Employees to understand the harassing tactics of the administration with them after which it was decided to give a final warning to the LG administration to either sort out the matter on urgent basis or face 2016 type agitation for employees’ rights.
It was disclosed during the meeting that some departments were denying the promotion benefits to the PM Package employees on some frivolous plea that they were not the permanent employees of the departments and that their posts would remain supernumerary created under DMRRR who can not be promoted without amendment to the recruitment rules disregarding the reality that they were employed through proper procedure by SSRB.

It was also disclosed that some bureaucrats were giving it a communal colour by terming PM Package as a package for a particular community which was not the reality.
Taking note of such developments APMCC leadership asked the LG to sort out the matter adding no discrimination on the grounds of their Package or community would be tolerated and such harassment would only aggravate the situation and alienate the migrant community further from the government.
The leadership also asked the UT administration to remove the hassles in seniority lists, inter district transfers, accommodation issues and other problems by talking to the APMCC leadership on the pattern of previous governments so that Kashmiri migrants don’t feel left out and neglected.
Prominent among those who attended the meeting include Vinod Pandit, Chairman APMCC, King C Bharati, Senior Journalist & National Spokesperson APMCC, Advocate Arun Kandroo, General Secretary APMCC.
